Article Evaluation
Stotting

I chose to evaluate this article because it is an interesting example of anti predator adaptation.

The lead is concise and includes information that can be found in the subsequent paragraphs.

The article has 3 main headings. One describing possible origins of the word 'Stotting', another giving examples of quadrupeds that exhibit this behaviour and a list of explanations as to why animals do this.

The tone of the article is fairly neutral and it does not attempt to persuade the reader to believe any one explantation for the reason why animals 'stot' however, it lists many possible reasons with citations for articles which elaborate on the theories of different biologists.

There are 12 references throughout this article. 4 images are included in this article, 2 of which are of impalas stotting.
